AWS CodeStar
AWS CodeStar is a unified development service within Amazon Web Services that helped teams quickly develop, build, and deploy applications on AWS through continuous delivery.
Key points
- AWS CodeStar reached end of life on July 31, 2024. Since that date, the CodeStar console can no longer be accessed and no new projects can be created, though the AWS resources of a project already created (source repositories, pipelines, and builds) continue to function unaffected.
- AWS’s designated successor was Amazon CodeCatalyst — but CodeCatalyst itself stopped accepting new customers as of November 7, 2025 (existing CodeCatalyst customers can continue using it, with no new features planned beyond security, availability, and performance updates). For a new project today, AWS points teams instead toward the individual AWS Code services — AWS CodeCommit, AWS CodeBuild, AWS CodeDeploy, AWS CodePipeline — or a third-party toolchain (e.g., GitHub Actions).
- Provided continuous delivery for coding, building, testing, and deploying code and applications.
- Provided a unified user interface for managing the software delivery process.
- Let a team set up an entire continuous delivery tool chain in minutes.
- Brought together services such as AWS CodeCommit, AWS CodeBuild, AWS CodeDeploy, and AWS CodePipeline under one project dashboard.
